Singapore to host F1 World Championship until 2021

Back in November 2016, then F1 boss Bernie Eccelestone, said that Singapore was no longer interested in hosting the annual race as it has become a destination hotspot, achieving its original goal.

Momentum is certainly with the Silver Arrows after the Italian Grand Prix, but given the tricky nature of the Marina Bay circuit and the many incidents we can expect, Hamilton and Company cannot afford to lose focus or rest easy.

F1 chairman Chase Carey said he was thrilled about the new contract. Yes, Formula One is in Singapore and at the Marina Bay circuit for the 14th race of the 2017 season. "We've certainly got stronger and stronger and I think at the high down force circuits this year we've been pretty good and getting better".

THE Singapore Grand Prix is now a regular fixture on the Formula One calendar.

Meanwhile, Lionel Yeo, Chief Executive of the Singapore Tourism Board, stated that the race has provided an excellent platform for businesses to test bed new lifestyle initiatives and products.

In a statement, Formula One said: "Since its debut in 2008, the first ever night Grand Prix is one of the highlights of the F1 calendar and one of the most attractive and spectacular races".

Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel arrives for practice at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore this week.

The German equaled that rather unfortunate record last time out at Monza, so failure to land a podium in Singapore would mean that Hulkenberg will have made his 129th Grand Prix start without a single podium to his name.
